VOTE FOR GOODWIN'S SHANE DAVIS
SSC, Inc. will begin providing uniformed security services at
Goodwin College beginning at 8 a.m. on Monday, August 17. This is a change from
our previous provider, Allied Barton. SSC is a Connecticut-based company with
local offices in Rocky Hill. They provide security services for other colleges
including Albertus Magnus, Rensselaer at Hartford, Manhattanville, and Eastern
Nazarene. SSC officers will provide a uniformed security presence at all
Goodwin College classroom facilities. Some of the guards from our previous
provider will be transitioning over to SSC, and we look forward to their
continued fine security work. Several new guards have already started training
and will be at Goodwin full time beginning August 17. We look forward to the
improved security services SSC will provide to the entire Goodwin Community.
On a related topic, Goodwin College has recently purchased a new
security vehicle that will provide high visibility security patrols around all
of our campus properties.
This message is shared on behalf of Rich Vibberts, Director of
Campus Safety and Security:
Beginning
Monday, August 17, the parking of personal vehicles will be restricted in the
lot between 195 and 167 Riverside Drive weekdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. These
spaces are needed for Early Childhood Magnet School faculty and staff members.
Classes do not begin there until Wednesday, August 26, but the parking spots
will be needed starting next Monday.
Another important item to note: beginning August 26, school busses
will be dropping off and picking up students in front of 167 Riverside. Please
remember that it is illegal to pass busses when their red lights are flashing.
This practice is particularly important as the bus passengers will be first and
second graders.
Classes at 167 start at 7:45 a.m., so drop-off is expected from
approximately 7:35 to 7:50 a.m. each day. School gets out at 3 p.m. Monday
through Thursday. Busses will be waiting to pick up students from approximately
2:55 to 3:05 p.m. each day. On Friday, school gets out at 12:00 p.m. Busses
will be waiting from approximately 11:55 a.m. to 12:05 p.m.
Finally, please note that parents will be dropping off and picking
up children in the parking lot located between 167 and 133 Riverside. Vehicles
will be entering across from Ensign Street, and exiting near the school itself.
This parent drop-off traffic will be traveling in a one-way-in and one-way-out
direction.
Your assistance and diligence on these points are critical to the
safety of these younger students on the College campus.
My thanks in advance for your help.
Late
Registration for the Fall 2015 semester will begin on Monday, August 10, 2015
at 9 am, ending on Monday, September 7, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. If you did not
register during the normal registration dates, you will need to visit the
Business Office to pay the $100 late registration fee first. You may contact
the Assistant Registrar with questions at rstraub@goodwin.edu.
